Excerpt from The Philosophic Function of Value: A Study of Experience Showing the Ultimate, Meaning of Evolution to Be the Attainment of Personality Through Culture and Religion

In these days of stress, when every thought is bent towards winning the great war that has become a crusade for democracy, an explanation may perhaps be required of a book on a subject apparently so abstract.

This work has been written from a standpoint of democracy. Its aim is to get close to the life of man, to comprehend the unique restlessness and progressiveness of his experience, to see just how evolution is really a development rather than a series of adjustments. It draws a contrast between a purely biological situation and the thought-situation as the unit of experience. Evolution thus becomes the never-to-be-completed story of human selfhood or soul-life, radiant with moral beauty. The soul of man appears both as the subject and the milieu of evolution; "the mind is its own place." Laboratory investigations are no longer all that is necessary; the problem is not one of external interaction, but of experience, and so philosophy must take up the task. Reality itself has imposed its obligation.

Man is more than ready to carry the burden of this responsibility; his whole being reaches out towards this philosophical task as the fulfillment of his most imperious want. He too, like the innumerable creatures that struggle for existence, makes his way by his hunger and his thirst.
